Hello, I'm Héloïse Colrat, an artist and glassblower based in Brussels. I collaborate with specific places and times, and there are as many projects as cooperation within a given context. I’m into things we hardly notice or simply don't know about. Contact me if you think we can come up with something together. Here's some info and links to other media .

Methods, le verre à l'époque médiévale

workshop with students from the HEAR Strasbourg glass department as part of the ArtScience residency with archaeometer Alicia Van Ham-Meert

Lors d’un workshop avec l’atelier verre de la HEAR de Strasbourg, j'ai proposé aux étudiants de travailler sur la forme de la corne à boire, l’un des premiers verres-trompeurs, en utilisant le mélange vitrifiable que nous avons élaboré en laboratoire avec l’archéomètre Alicia Van Ham-Meert. Les étudiants ont ainsi pu mener leurs propres recherches formelles autour des verres-trompeurs avec l’aide d’Alain Guillot, explorateur du verre ancien et souffleur émérite invité pour l’occasion.

During a workshop with the glass department at HEAR in Strasbourg, I invited the students to work on the shape of the drinking horn, one of the first tricky glasses, using the vitrifiable mixture we had developed in the laboratory with the archaeometer Alicia Van Ham-Meert. The students were invited to carry out their own formal research around tricky glasses, with the help of Alain Guillot, an explorer of ancient glass and talented glassblower invited for the occasion.
